Messages of Love

From family and friends

Theresa Finn Frees September 3, 2026
Patti was a wonderful big sister who truly saw me as I was growing up. She and Gaye always made time for me, and some of my happiest memories are of sharing in the early years of their children’s lives while babysitting for them. Patti and Gaye had a wonderful marriage, and I feel fortunate to have witnessed the love and life they built together. Patti was also my unofficial hairstylist growing up. She practiced her latest styles on me—whether it was the big-hair perm for my First Communion or the Dorothy Hamill cut in high school. Those could be interesting experiences for a shy little sister, but they are memories that make me smile now. Patti’s heart was always pure, loving, and generous. I am grateful for the years I had with her, for the memories she gave me, and most of all, for having her as my big sister. I will miss her very much. Theresa
